Australian sheep-shearers declineComment:
So far, we have seen many examples of scarcity caused by the lack of resources or land. However, in this article, a different type of problem can be seen. Here, there is clearly no lack of resources, as there are plenty of wool waiting to be sheared, but there is a lack of the supply of labour as nobody in Australia is keen on taking up this job. This has an impact on Australia's economy, as this lack of sheep-shearers is causing inefficiency due to the available resources that are not being utilised fully. The lack of sheep-shearers would cause a direct impact on the wool industry, which is one of Australia's largest industries.
